about

Burdock is a song about injustice; the SS Titanic; a weird dream I once had about a friend (Dandelion) ; and surviving a shark attack.

lyrics

I've realised I can't ignore or even walk away from disturbances happening in front of my face. I see nothing else at all, your body is exceptional... resilient. You'll take some beating. Take a beating. Take a beating.

I will float you gently round the room.
Do not look down!
Remember, the emperor is nude.
He has no crown!
Smiling, buffing brass. See your face! Fit to eat a meal off.
Boats are sinking. Deftly hold your breath and dream of Burdock.

Beneath surfaces, prestigious brace their resting place.
Royal rot.
Watery decay.
Everything is gonna be.... alright.
Cause you're dialled to 10.
In your veins - adrenaline.
Cause you know you are not one of them.

I am the willing retriever of all things conveniently brushed under the carpet. Seriously... you've no idea.

They pulled my body out.
I wanted to scream and to shout.
But my limbs were all substituted with unfamiliar bionics.
They injected my toes with substances.
I do not know where I am now.
And I feel too embarrassed to ask.
Quite tragic, I know.
But even so... it was probably (probably) still so much better than curious fumbling. The best kiss that I ever had.
The permanent marks of shark tooth and scars.
How many people can say, the near end of your life was delayed...
and you've survived to tell the tale.
